Have you tried another player?
The built in Media Player isn't bad, but it's almost as quirky as Sony stuff...
I'm half hoping someone ports TCPMP to the NIT platform...
It was ugly but it really worked!
Either that or VLC... which is also ugly-but-works
(Would need some optimization 'tho; VLC is not particularly efficient...)

On the other hand for divx mplayer seems to be the better choice.

The only perceivable difference between the files is the space in the filename… and outside of databases, i thought that ceased to matter 10 years ago.

Another difference is that the one that doesn't play is 320*180, whereas the one that plays is 320*240.

The built-in Media Player used to be picky about resolutions being multiples of 16, so I'd guess that's it.
I don't know if it still is, because all of my videos are either downloaded PSP/iPod ones (MP4) or DivX/Xvid-style generated through tablet-encode.

Played normally is number 1, and doesn't play number 2.
